UQFP-M-175- 175Amp Circuit Breaker

UQFP-M-175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

When a panel calls for a specific main breaker, there’s not much room for improvising—you need the right one, plain and simple. The UQFP-M-175 is a 175-amp, 2-pole main breaker designed for residential load centers that use the UQFP frame. If you’re replacing an existing unit, this is the kind of match that keeps everything straightforward.

It installs as a plug-in main breaker and uses a thermal magnetic trip, so it reacts to both overloads and short circuits as you’d expect in a standard 120/240V setup. The 10kA interrupting rating lines up with what most residential systems require, making it a practical fit for everyday service work.

One feature that matters in the field is the extra load-side tabs. These give you the option to run a parallel sub-feed without reconfiguring the panel. If you’re working on a pedestal or need to distribute power downstream, that flexibility can save time.

At the end of the day, this breaker does what it’s supposed to do—fit the panel correctly and keep the system operating as designed. No extra steps, no guesswork.
